Iranian Artist Shirin Neshat in the group exhibition: In Search of Global Poetry

Date: 9 April 2017

The exhibition In Search of Global Poetry: Videos from the Han Nefkens Collection, a collection of 12 videos will run from 16 April to 16 July 2017 at the He Xiangning Art Museum in Shenzhen, China.

The exhibition In Search of Global Poetry: Videos from the Han Nefkens Collection, shows a selection of 12 videos at the He Xiangning Art Museum in Shenzhen, China. Han Nefkens, the well-known Dutch art collector and writer, began building his collection in 2000, and has worked selectively with art museums and other institutions worldwide to exhibit his collection.
The participating artists in this exhibition each offer a different narrative while managing to do so in an unusual way, mixing real life and fiction, sense and sensibility. These works express the artists’ recognition, thought and experimentation as related to the relationship between art and new media in an era of digital technology. Moreover, coming from different corners of the world (including Iran, Switzerland, Lithuania and the USA, amongst others), the artists have completely different backgrounds and origins and belong to very different generations. Their works thus provide a global cultural vision and allow us to clearly understand the ways in which the visual language of video art is employed to express their attitudes, views and transcendental, poetic imaginations in relation to art.
In search of Global Poetry: Videos from the Han Nefkens Collection will be held fro April 16–July 9, 2017
